Del Webb Explosion was a seven-piece band, cast in the mold of British soul revivalists Dexy's Midnight Runners. They were active in Adelaide for 20 months between 1981 and 1983 with their first concert being played at the Union Hotel on 7 December 1981.
The band was founded in Adelaide, South Australia by Peter Flierl in 1980, who had just returned from a trip to the UK with an incredibly strong impression, having been left by the sounds of Dexys Midnight Runners and the very recently formed splinter group from that ensemble, The Bureau.
The band has been described as a brass based pop band with strong British soul influences. The band's name was provided by early Del Webb guitarist Gerry Barrett and was named after American construction magnate and real estate developer Delbert Eugene Webb. The 'Explosion' just seemed to follow.
